International HTC One getting treated to Android 4.3 right now

It's just a matter of time before every HTC One gets Android 4.3

The moment HTC One users have been waiting for is almost here: Android 4.3 updates for the Android flagship are finally going out.

But right now only the unlocked, international version of the HTC One is being updated to Android 4.3, and the carrier-specific updates won't be out as soon as we expected them.

HTC America President Jason Mackenzie said on Wednesday that the update would be out soon, but today he tweeted otherwise.

"Unlocked out! Carrier skus coming, but will slightly miss 9/30," he wrote.

Soon…soon!

Previous word was that the HTC One would receive its Android 4.3 update by the end of September, but the update has been delayed. By how much is uncertain.

On Wednesday HTC spokespeople said the HTC One's Android 4.3 update was being certified on U.S. networks and "in progress" in Europe and the U.K.

In addition, it seems the update may have begun rolling out on HTC's home turf in Taiwan as early as Tuesday.

The irony is it may not be long after that that Android 4.4: KitKat, the next major update, arrives on the scene, and HTC One owners will have something else to pine over.

Android 4.3: all the latest

Mackenzie said on Wednesday that Android 4.3 brings "the latest Sense" experience to the HTC One, so it seems the phone's UI is being updated.

The update is also expected to fix the HTC One's camera issues, improving performance in low light environments.

A battery percentage indicator during charging is also being added.

Android 4.3 brings a number of other improvements and new features as well, so check out TechRadar's full rundown for more.
